Arsenal beat Manchester United to transfer of versatile star

Arsenal are reportedly leading Manchester United in the running to seal the transfer of Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina.

According to football.london,
Unai Emery is a keen admirer of the qualities the Gabon international
would bring, as he could fill in at right-back as well as midfield.

Arsenal
certainly can’t afford to be too picky this summer due to their limited
transfer budget, though many fans will surely be underwhelmed by their
reported interest in a player of Lemina’s calibre.

The 25-year-old
has not achieved a great deal in his time in the Premier League, having
failed to establish himself as first choice even at a club like
Southampton.
